In the timing libraries used in ASIC sta the transition tables are normally extrapolated to 10%~90%. WHY?
The delay calculator has to again multiply the values in transition table by slew_derate_from_library to get the transition_value for the actual characterised portion of the waveform and use it for delay calculation.
Why in first place the actual transition values for the characterised say 30%~70% not written in the libraries?
Could some one help me understand?
